I'm in Alberta, but anywhere in Canada is fine. Our dollar is so terrible I can't afford to ship down south. I'm looking for someone with subaru experience to fully build an engine for me.

all 3 of those shops are very well known.
building subaru motors is pretty much the main thing Techworks does. Touge has a good rep and a few cars racing within the CSCS with their build motors. Canjam is a pretty big shop that has built rally cars and has a few cars running in the CSCS and also runs the CSCS time attack series. |

Techworks
Tom is "the" guy that is Techworks and he is very knowledgeable and capable of building Performance Subaru motors correctly. Don't hesitate to use him..speaking from experience.

Thanks Trevor. This car is my baby, so I am looking for 'the guy'. I'm in no hurry at all, so I'll research the shop as much as the parts.

There is a new shop in Québec city named Freedom. They specialize in Subaru tuning for rally and time attack.
It is a new shop and they already have a good reputation. They are targeting the race car market more than the tuning market. If this is what you need, contact them! Freedom inc. 324-8, Laurier street, St-Apollinaire QC G0S 2E0 Phone : 418-881-2788 Email : [email protected] Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/FreedomRallyShop |
